Please advise Migrating of OS from Solaris to Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHE

Hi Experts,
We are in process of Upgrading EBS from 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 and Migrating of OS from Solaris to Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL).
Current system Details: EBS Version: 12.0.4 DB Version: 10.2.0.3 OS Version : Solaris 10.
1. Do we need to upgrade first or Migrate the OS First? If so why? Please advise
2. What is the minimum database version to be upgraded for upgrading from 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 ? Please advise
3. When will the support for this version of upgraded database expires? Please advise
4. Minimum downtime required to upgrade the database, application and migrate the OS? Please advise
5. Documents to follow for Upgradation and Migration? Please advise
Regards
Mohammed. Abdul Muqeet

SUN JES - migrating from Solaris to Red Hat Linux

I have some EJBs working fine on JES 2004Q2 on Solaris. I want it to work on Linux JES 2005Q4.
I guess all that I may need to do is:
- Install JES 2005Q4 for Linux
- Deploy by EJBs
Is there anything else I should be taking care?

No, you don't need to do anything special. Any application working on Solaris version of JES should behave exactly the same on Linux version.

Hi,
You can use export/import or transportable tablespaces to migrate the database.

How long the task would take? Depends on the hardware resources you have. The best practice is to try this on a test instance first.

Complexities of Migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris to HP-UX Itanium

Can anyone share their experiences with regards to migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris on a Sun platform to HP-UX 11i v3 (Itanium) on HP Integrity servers. We are trying to consider all the risks associated with such a move. How much time delay did you experience in resolving unexpected issues along the way? How complex is the process? If you had to do it all over again, would you?
In addtion, we will also be migrating Oracle eBusiness Suite 11i (11.5.10.2).
We appreciate your helpful feedback.
Thank you.

Here is more information:
- the database size is currently about 500GB
- our ASP allows us to be down as much as we want however the company's own needs can only allow a downtime window of two days (over the weekend)
- i presume further that RMAN might be an option to use to backup the database and instance to some transportable media
- it would take about four days to get that media from the ASP to our facility so durign that time the instance at the ASP would have to be used
- after we get the backup media and load everything into our in-house site, our last step would be to find a way to migrate all changes over the WAN. I am told that unless the platforms are the same on both ends, mirroring will be extremely difficult or impossible. If we have a platform that is different from the ASP platform, then the migration of all changes will require conversion and other mechanisms. I am told that HP-UX has so much complexities that this will be a daunting task to accomplish.
Do you have any opinions and recommnedations?

Migration of weblogic 8.1 from solaris to 10.3 in Linux

Hello All,
We want migrate our WebLogic 8.1 from Solaris to 10.3 in linux, i am unable to find any documents on this.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks,
Nkhil

install linux version of weblogic 10.3
create domain, you may have to extend your domain to include adf libraries.
start admin server
goto, console create datasource
also you can enable tunneling
open your project in jdev
create an app. server for tunneling
deploy it.
that's what I did.

Migrate oracle 9iR2 database from Suse to Red Hat???

Hi Everyone,
We're going to move an oracle 9iR2 database from Suse to Red Hat. At this moment I don't know the detail about the platforms yet. I still like to ask a question if DB backup on Suse is compatible on RedHat? Physical restoring may be our prefer instead of exp/imp.
Any advices?
Thanks,
Eric

I'm pretty sure (never did it myself) that there will be not problem when moving the database. The Oracle software is the same (at least when you use the x86 version) so
the format of the datafiles and controlfiles should be identical.
However some configuration files (network settings) might differ so try before you die :-)

Problem with activesync provisioning user from ldap to red hat

hello,
i am using activesync to provision the user from ldap to red hat linux . i am getting the following error message
An error occurred adding user '#########' to resource 'Red Hat Linux'.
Script failed waiting for " PASSWORD:" in response "passwd: Only one user name may be specified.

Script processor timed out with nothing to read and the following unprocessed text: "passwd: Only one user name may be specified.

when to try to assign redhat resource to a user from the idm the user is getting provisioned to redhat successfully .active sync form is working for all the other resource except the redhat.
can anyone give me solution for the above problem
thanks in advance.

Have you set the xhost as ROOT (xhost +hostname), and then as the ORACLE user type "export DISPLAY:0.0" (without the quotes of course) ? This needs to be done prior to running the installer. Try this site for further information - http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml

Migration Oracle db from solaris to aix

Hi,
I would like to ask you for a best way how to do..
We have a large international Oracle migration effort from Solaris to AIX. We have some challenges where a standard export/import will not work due to the extended distance between sites. As an example we are migrating from Japan to Texas.
What is the best tool to use?
I looked around and I found Oracle Golden Gate.
do you have any other idea?
Thank you,
Regards,
Tom

I dont have more info about the project but there will databases (maybe 500) with different sizes (x MB - x TB) and there could be single and RAC.
I am looking for any tool/utility where I will be able to prepare migration document which could be used as baseline for migration all of them.I do not think it will be possible to use one approach for all DBs in your case. You should split DBs into groups you may use different approaches.
Among 500 DBs will be:
a) databases with "low availability" requirements where long downtime is possible. so you can stop app, take an export, import into remote db, re-target app to new db.
b) databases where only short downtime is possible. then you can use DataGuard or some replication technologies (OGG, Shareplex, DataCurrents) to make "final sync".
c) databases with "high availability" requirements where NO downtime is possible. Here you can use some replication technologies (i.e. DataCurrents and may be others can do it). First you copy data to remote DB and "remember" SCN you got the source dump, then you keep replicating all changes starting from this SCN. As soon as remote DB becomes in sync, you quickly switch the app to new DB.
But I never did migration accross states (more than 1000 miles).Distance does not matter. You should have good bandwidth network connection between sites.

Migration from sunsolarise10 to red hat for oracle 9i

hello gurus
we are working on migration from sun solaris 10 to red hat. for oracle 9i RAC. can anyone please guide us how we should go about that and if anybody can please provide me any supporting link.
Thanks in advance

Before Oracle 10g, you are pretty much stuck with exp/imp option for Cross-platform migration.
Depends on the size of your database that could be very time consuming and downtime scheduling is big concern. Therefore some people was trying the replication and switch over route. But that's not very easy to setup and you need to have in-depth knowledge of the data and the application driven.
If you can upgrade to 10g, then you have option to use transportable tablespace which now support crossplatform migration. And you need to use RMAN to convert endianess of your datafiles.

Order of installing Windows XP, Solaris & Red Hat Linux...

Hi all,
If I were to install Windows XP, Red Hat Linux & Solaris in intel dual core machine, in which order do I proceed to install. First Windows XP, then Solaris & Linux, I believe. Am I right. If not, please correct me.
Thanks,
...

Although posted under different title and content, your most recent thread
Windows and Solaris not booting on a Windows, Solaris and Linux Machine.
is actually the duplicate of this thread.
The right order of install is Windows XP, RHEL, Solaris. Because, if the Linux is the last installed OS, the Linux version of GRUB will be installed on the MBR (Master Boot Record), and you will not be able to boot Solaris. Why? Because the Linux GRUB doesn't currently recognize Solaris VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) and UFS (Universal Disk Format File System) formats. Only the Solaris version of GRUB works as common loader for Solaris and Linux. Since you installed Linux as the last OS (as per your duplicated thread), you can try to chainload from the Linux GRUB by modifying the grub.conf on Linux, eg:
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=2
timeout=15
color white/blue black/cyan
title Windows XP
     rootnoverify (hd0,0)
     chainloader +1
title Solaris 5.10
     root (hd0,1)
     makeactive
     chainloader +1
     boot
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,2)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.imgwhere
(hd0) is the first (bootable) BIOS physical disk, and GRUB boot loader is installed on its MBR
(hd0,0) is the first primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Windows XP
(hd0,1) is the second primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Solaris 5.10
(hd0,2) is the third primary partition of the first BIOS disk - RHEL-4
Modify this according to your real disk partition map if it's necessary.
If this doesn't work (at least it should work for Windows and Linux), then I suggest reinstalling all three OSs from the ground up. A year ago I successfully installed Windows Server 2003, RHEL-4.5 and Solaris 10 on single 250 GB physical disk. You can follow my procedure. Before that, boot the system with the first RHEL-4 installation CD, type "linux rescue" and press Enter. When linux console appears, delete all partitions using fdisk. Or, alternatively, type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=2048This will erase your Master Boot Record and MBR Partition Table inside it, even much more filling out 2 MB continuous disk area with zeros. Restart the system, insert Windows installation media and start the procedure:
1. install Windows XP as the first OS. If it doesn't matter, create only one 25 GB C: drive on the entire primary partition rather than 10 GB C: and 15 GB D: drives, unless you are not sure Solaris had overwritten the D: drive on the extended partition
2. install RHEL-4 as the second OS. At this point you will be able to access Windows and RHEL-4 from GRUB. Boot RHEL-4 and navigate to /boot/grub/grub.conf. As you might need this information later, copy or make a note of the Linux entry on paper. The entry is something like this:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,1)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.img3. install Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) as the third OS. That way the Solaris version of GRUB will overwrite Linux GRUB in MBR and will be installed as the common loader for all three OSs. At this point your system might be set to boot all three operating systems. If not, you will be able to access the Solaris and Windows only. In that case boot Solaris, navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the Linux entry you copied from Linux grub.conf in the step 2. The next time you restart the system, you should be able to boot all three operating systems using Solaris version of GRUB.

3) We updated the IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR with single quotes instead of double quotes in the DB features of the RPD
4) We updated the bash_profile file to point the ODBCINI variable to the path where the OBIEE odbc.ini file is present.

Hi,
Make sure SQL Configuration Manager make sure the TCP/IP enabled. please try below method
Method 1
Re Create a new ODBC & Oracle Bi Server DSN Configuration test it and use it in the connection pools.
define your ODBC data source in your server where the BI Server is installed. Check your DB connections in your physical layer and make they are defined on your BI Server as well.
Method 2:
try using the complete TNS in below format in the datasource name section:
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =DB IP)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ) and provide the credentials.
Method 3:
To use the OCI call interface you need to have oracle client DB to be installed so that you can establish a connection using that DB credentials and connect to the remote dB and then import the tables.....this is the rule of thumb.
hope helps you.
Thanks

PostgreSql JDBC from Red Hat Linux works on Windows not on Linux

I started using ODI from a Windows XP box in development and Beta, and was successfully connecting to and loading data from several different database platforms including a PostgreSql database. I copied the PostgreSql JDBC driver to the ODI drivers folder, set up the connection information and it worked. When I moved from Windows XP to "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6)", I could no longer connect to this PostgreSql database. I put the same driver jar file "postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc3.jar" in the drivers folder and used the same connection string. All of the other drivers (Oracle, MS SQL, etc.) in that driver folder work correctly on this Linux box. I can even tell ODI to connect to the PostgreSql through the agent on the Windows XP machine and it works. That suggests that the URL must be OK, but for some reason it can't connect from the Linux box. I also tried updating to the newest driver"postgresql-8.3-604.jdbc3.jar" with no success.
Any Ideas on what I may have missed?

I'm having a problem in connecting to a PostGreSQL database, I was just wondering how you did it? I'm using a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition.
Thanks,
